Hooray for Bidets! Enhancing Comfort and Support for Patients and Care Partners | Jaclyn Wilburn
Join us for an engaging and practical discussion on the benefits of bidets as an affordable, functional tool in patient care. This session will explore how bidets promote dignity, reduce care partner burden, and enhance hygiene for individuals experiencing cognitive or physical challenges. You’ll learn what a bidet is, where to find one, and how to use it, along with key considerations for integrating bidets into care routines. By addressing common misconceptions and highlighting real-world applications, this presentation will demonstrate how a simple tool can make a big impact on the quality of life for both patients and care partners.
